Shocking, but how could we have known? 😮

Good to know, I’ll stick to sodas full of sugar, no problem can come from that 👍

Majority of Hungarians are still pro-EU, even a lot of his voters. Also, he still gets some EU funds, ending up in his and his friend’s pocket. There is no reason to leave, as long as he can stay in power in the current setup.

The job of US police is to uphold the status quo and protect the elite’s property

It makes zero sense, but of course tankies will be happy to parade it around. The are well after the 50th in GDP per capita PPP, and probably much lower if would look at actual consumption. In total GDP, outside of top 10

Total GDP on PPP basis has to be one of the most idiotic bullshit comparisons I have ever heard. Makes zero sense. Per capita GDP PPP comparison could at least pretend to be meaningful, but of course they would be far behind in that

Even if somebody agrees with Israel: they have a large and modern army, plus some nukes for backup. Let them sort their own shit out, while focusing support on a country that absolutely needs it.

I visited the place ~20 years ago as a kid with my family, quite amazing if you’re interested in WW2. Saw a few nazis definitely, but also hundreds of normal tourists.

Tief im Westen…

She’s buying another house (already signed), so she needs to sell this one - lack of a concrete driveway would tank the price.

We are not the only ones to not understand what the exact scam is, the realtor she is working with also has no idea, never seen anything like this with him or his colleagues. He posted the thing in a national realtor group (that’s how it became news), others also have very few similar examples.

It could be that some guy just wanted a similar driveway, and had it removed and delivered. No idea if that is possible without it being destroyed, but e.g. there were instances of people steeling lawn/grass, so I think anything is possible.

As according to pro-Russia trolls here on Lemmy, Ukraine is losing the war, I wonder how much damage they would do to the Russian fleet, if they were actually winning

This is very true, taking a contrarian stance is an easy way to “show” (pretend) that you have an edgy personality. This I think covers most of the young white Westerners.

The other part is just antisemitic people, of which a lot exists even in Western countries (and not just immigrants, who are often blamed solely).

Maybe they were holding a white flag? \s

But they don’t want to actually do it, and this way they can pretend to be working on it.

I fly within the EU almost weekly, never had to show my ID. I think it’s very dependent on airline/country, and the individual standing at the gate, if they actually ask for it (though they of course can).

Brutal numbers. Let’s not forget that Russia can’t just move all its troops west, they still need to protect other borders and regions.

I really hope the US passes a proper aid, and even more so that EU gets themselves together and continues support. Infuriating to see that while Ukrainians are fighting for their lives (and unintentionally also for the safety of Europe), the politicians are haggling over fucking pocket change.

The only way Russia can win if the west stops Ukraine’s support, and they grind them up over the next years. This would be a catastrophic strategic failure, and would mean the end of global US/NATO influence, motivating the start of many more annexations (definitely Taiwan as a start).

Just wait until you hear that they secretly started manufacturing in Cambodia
